Talking Points and Customer Questions

These questions and talking points are designed to be conversation starters for you and your community members.  If possible, each person should be asked about the subject of getting vaccinated.  They may already have gotten the shot, but perhaps they need resources for their families.  We don't want anyone to feel pressured.  It should feel natural.  Your advice should be gentle and the person should ideally leave with an info card or having scanned the information link with their phone.

Have you received your Covid vaccine? 

 

(If Yes)  That's good. Why did you get it?  Have your family members gotten it?  If you need information, I'm working with the NAACP and have resources.  Let me give you this card.  (You might want to show them that they can also point their phone to a the QR code and visit our NAACP resource page.) 

  

(If no)  Why not?   This Covid is so scary for our community.  We've lost so many.  If you need information, I'm working with the NAACP and have resources.  Let me give you this card.  (You might want to show them that they can also point their phone to a the QR code and visit our NAACP resource page.)

​

Additional Points to make:

  • The Covid 19 Pandemic is not over.  With different variants appearing, we must still practice safety measures to mitigate risks.

  • Also we are reminding people to continue to social distance and wear their masks.  

  • The shots are free.

  • Black folks are dying faster than anyone because of exposure and preexisting conditions

  • The NAACP's resource page has the following:

  • Information from our people (trusted messengers.)

  • A vaccine location finder

  • Information that separates the myths from the truth
